Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
|
On June 26, 2009, Perry Ellis International, Inc. (the Company) entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Stephen Harriman pursuant to which Mr. Harriman will continue to serve as the President of the
Companys Bottoms Division. The employment agreement for Mr. Harriman, which is effective as of May 1, 2009, is for a term of two years. The employment agreement provides for an annual salary of $500,000, retroactive to June 1,
2009. Mr. Harriman is eligible to participate in the Companys Management Incentive Plan.
If the Company terminates
Mr. Harrimans employment without cause (as that term is defined in his employment agreement) he is entitled to a severance payment equal to six months of his then- current base salary; provided Mr. Harriman executes a full waiver and
release of all claims against the Company and reaffirms the restrictive covenants set forth in the employment agreement. In the event the Company terminates Mr. Harrimans employment without cause or Mr. Harriman terminates his
employment for good reason (as that term is defined in his employment agreement) within twelve months following a change in control (as that term is defined in his employment agreement), Mr. Harriman will be entitled to a severance payment
equal to one year of his salary plus the amount of incentive compensation that would have been received by Mr. Harriman in the current fiscal year; provided Mr. Harriman executes a full waiver and release of all claims against the Company
and reaffirms the restrictive covenants set forth in the employment agreement. Mr. Harriman may not enter into any employment or other agency relationship with certain of the Companys competitors or solicit or enter into any business
relationship with any of the Companys vendors, suppliers, sourcing agents, manufacturers, brokers or other parties providing goods or services to the Company during his employment or for a period of six months following his separation from the
Company, for any reason. Mr. Harriman also may not, directly or indirectly, without the Companys express written permission, for a period of two years after his separation from the Company, employ anyone who is a consultant or employee of
the Company at the time of his separation from the Company or who was a consultant or employee during the six-month period prior to his separation from the Company. Mr. Harriman also may not disclose or utilize any trade secret or confidential
information during the term of his employment and for a period of ten years after his separation from the Company.
The foregoing description is subject to
